The latest Iran US conflict update centres on Bahrain, where the US military says it shot down two Iranian drones launched toward the Gulf kingdom. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on 13 November 2026 that there were no injuries or damage. The same day, it denied a claim by Iran's Revolutionary Guard that its forces had attacked a US 'early-warning radar' in Bahrain earlier in the day.
Drones downed, radar claim denied
CENTCOM said both drones were shot down and that it had no reports of injuries or damage. The Revolutionary Guard, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, claimed it had destroyed a radar system in Bahrain. The two accounts directly contradict each other, and no independent confirmation of either is included in this update.
Nuclear watchdog concern over Isfahan
Separately, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations nuclear watchdog, said it is 'increasingly concerned' about an underground uranium-enrichment plant at Isfahan in Iran. Uranium enrichment is a sensitive process that can produce fuel for power plants, or material for weapons, which is why inspections matter. Tehran has not let IAEA inspectors visit the site since the US attack on the area in June 2025, so the agency has not been able to inspect it.
Timeline: what has happened so far
- June 2025: The US attacked the Isfahan area, and Tehran has since not allowed IAEA inspection of the underground plant.
- 13 November 2026: CENTCOM said two Iranian drones launched toward Bahrain were shot down, with no injuries or damage.
- 13 November 2026: CENTCOM denied an IRGC claim that it had attacked a US early-warning radar in Bahrain earlier that day.
- 13 November 2026: The IAEA said it is increasingly concerned about the Isfahan plant.
Aasan alfaaz mein
US Central Command ke mutabiq Bahrain ki taraf aane wale do Iranian drones mar gira diye gaye, aur koi zakhmi ya nuqsan nahi hua. Iran ki Revolutionary Guard ne Bahrain mein US radar tabah karne ka dawa kiya, jise CENTCOM ne rad kar diya. IAEA ne Isfahan ki zair-e-zameen uranium plant ke baray mein tashweesh zahir ki hai, kyunki inspection ki ijazat nahi mili. Halaat tezi se badal sakte hain, is liye taaza khabar par nazar rakhein.
